PART 3 EXECUTION

PREPARATION

Ream pipe and tube ends.	Remove burrs. [Bevel plain end ferrous pipe.]

Remove scale and foreign material, from inside and outside, before assembly.

Prepare piping connections to equipment with flanges or unions.

INSTALLATION

Install piping in accordance with [NFPA 13 for sprinkler systems] [NFPA 14 for standpipe and hose systems] [NFPA 24 for service mains].

Route piping in orderly manner, plumb and parallel to building structure. Maintain gradient.

Install piping to conserve building space,and not interfere with use of space and other work.

Group piping whenever practical at common elevations.

Install piping to allow for expansion and contraction without stressing pipe, joints, or connected equipment.

Slope piping and arrange systems to drain at low points. Use eccentric reducers to maintain top of pipe level.

Prepare pipe, fittings, supports, and accessories for finish painting. Where pipe support members are welded to structural building framing, scrape, brush clean, and apply one coat of zinc rich primer to welding. Refer to Section 09900.

Do not penetrate building structural members unless indicated.

Provide sleeves when penetrating [footings] [floors] [and] [walls]. Seal pipe and sleeve penetrations to achieve fire resistance equivalent to fire separation required. Refer to Section 15140.

Die cut screw joints with full cut standard taper pipe threads with red lead and linseed oil or other non-toxic joint compound applied to male threads only.

Install valves with stems upright or horizontal, not	inverted. Remove protective coatings [prior to] [after] installation.

Provide [gate] [ball] [or] [butterfly] valves for shut-off or isolating service.

Provide drain valves at main shut-off valves, low points of piping and apparatus.
